It all began as a lark. Shay Callahan’s life was just fine, thank you, but when the seemingly misogynistic missionary, Timothy Flynn, places an advertisement in a Christian magazine for a wife, Shay decides to give it a whirl. Why not? After all, she’s not currently seeing anyone, and this man truly needs to be taught a lesson.
When Dr. Flynn picks Shay's application, she hops on a plane and flies to the Philippines. The strategy is to jet in, enjoy an exciting two-week vacation, and jet out again, all at his expense. Instead, her plan backfires. The handsome missionary man is not what he seems, and the foreign land has far more to offer than Shay could imagine.
Embark on a tropical adventure with Shay that challenges everything she believes.

This was cute! I had a shallow first impression of Shay but I liked how she grew in the story. Timothy was fun to read, too, and he kept on surprising me. I liked how this was quick, although I wished it was longer so we could see more of Shay and Timothy's characters shine through rather than explained through dialogue. I liked how faith was incorporated in a way that it's not very preachy, and there was a lot of turning-faith-into-action sort of thing. I'm not the biggest fan of the title, though. It's accurate being the character applied for marriage, but the "App" part makes me think of online dating. Haha. Plus points for the Manila setting, and I think there were a lot of things that the author captured really well in the city - the traffic and the humidity, for example. And I liked all the Filipino characters, too (I mean, a guard named Bayani? Awesome). Overall, a fun, clean, and fast romantic read that brings you in the middle of Manila's chaotic glory. :PProduct details

Manila Marriage App Passport to Romance edition by Jan Elder Religion Spirituality eBooks Reviews
This was an adorable book. A little short...can definitely be made into a full length novel...I want to hear more about this couple.
Manila Marriage App is whimsical and sassy and I couldn't put it down! I mostly read historical romance but the idea of a modern day missionary advertising for a bride sucked me right in reminding me of the mail-order brides of the 19th century! Great summer read!
I'm a friend of the author, which made me appreciate some of the Maryland references she made in the story, especially the aversion to Duke University (I'm sure that was a nod to her husband, my long-time friend). This was a wonderful example of an author taking what she knew (her brother is a missionary) and weaving an entertaining story with a couple of nice plot twists. The element of romance built up gradually with a satisfying payoff. I read it on a business trip, and by the end found myself missing my wife even more so than I had been! A wonderful novella that I highly recommend, especially for a first published work.
A great book for those days when you want to sit back and read a light fun delightful book. I loved the modern take on a mail order bride. I wasn't for one moment distracted or bored. The Author kept me turning the pages. I loved the characters, especially Timothy. He has such a loving and caring heart. A great read.
I loved this book! The author had a fun sense of humor that kept me smiling. The writing was excellent, and the characters were memorable. Once I started reading this book, I couldn't put it down until I finished the very last page. If you enjoy fabulous writing that captures an enjoyable story, you really need to read this book! I highly recommend it, and I plan on rereading it myself many more times in the future!
As a writer myself, I try to read a lot of books because I can always learn from the triumphs and mistakes of other writers.
This book is not a mistake. It is the work of a writer doing what more writers should do. Jan Elder writes about what she believes in -- she writes her passion. She believes in love, and in a world where people can find each other despite all odds and obstacles. If you don't believe in these things, even a little, then maybe you should pick up some trashier book with more explosions, car chase scenes, ugly violence and lurid sex. Bon appetit!
The book is engaging. I had resigned myself to read it because I write science fiction and my own books need more romance, but once I started I was sucked into the story for more easily than I had expected. From the other reviews you know this is the story of a woman who finds one man's notion of how to find a wife so outrageous that she decides to fly to the Philippines to meet him and take him down a peg or two. What the heck, since he sends a ticket, it's a free vacation at the worst, right?
What she finds is not what she expects. The story is lovingly crafted with all the right elements of a good romance, with down-to-earth details that make it more believable. It's not a fairy tale, and there are flip-flops instead of glass slippers. There is the awkward meeting, the baffled cynicism, the unexpected jealousy, and the growing wonder in her mind as the man she expected to be an arrogant jerk turns out to be a prince after all. If you believe in love, or you want to believe in love, then you should read this book. I believe Jan Elder will delight and inspire many readers, and I look forward to seeing her talent grow even more inspiring. By their fruits shall ye know them. --MRK
Kept me smiling. Very real description of a special moment going sour. Comedic relief from spectacular ineptitude. Hard not to feel for the young lady. The divergence between her thoughts and actions adds tension, offsetting the slapstick. The pace is compact and fast, the dialogue edgy. Emotions seem real, even with the suspicion of teasing. Tension feels realistic. In the beginning, the heroine thinks like a solipsist (nowadays called a “narcissist”) but her defenses break down when life turns nasty and confronts her with looming catastrophe. Deep emotional touch, brought some tears. Good novella for a long flight, or an afternoon at the beach.
